sorry for the delay, guys!
Skye barely felt it as Taliesin the ivory healer slipped his pendant around her neck; another convulsion came, stronger than the last. She squeezed her eyes shut as he said his prayer to his god - she had never been very religious at all, thinking that what existed existed and what didn't didn't; no need to worry. But now, she put her faith with Taliesin's; she heard of mothers who gave birth to dead pups, and hoped against hope that this litter would be healthy and live a long, wonderful life.
She felt another pain come, but this time it was accompanied by a sort of movement from her abdomen; she felt something slide from her inside down, accompanied by an excruciating wave of pain that went from the top of her all the way down to the bottom. She let out a slight whimper, attempting to contain her pain; she hadn't been sure what Tal had meant when he said 'push', but she did now - she did so with all her might, and felt something wet slip onto the bed beneath her.
Lifting her head, she saw that there was a tiny white puppy dotted with blood there on the bedsheets, tiny mouth slavering and neck too weak to hold its head up; she felt elated, although she knew that that puppy was the first out of what seemed to be at least two more. She let her head flop back down onto the bed, her body feeling lighter already, although she knew that more were on the way.
